MusicToday explains “Superlow is a hard rock trio that channels teenage angst into a fiery sound that’s all grown up. Their music evokes the youth experience of smoking after school, working dead-end jobs and getting attention from pretty girls. Ed Thill’s (vocals, guitar) gravelly voice sings of late nights, lust, rejection and redemption. Mark Thill (drums) slaps the skins like a man possessed, and Pete Abojoli (bass,vocals) lays down a rhythm that keeps the band grooving even through their angriest tracks.” Emusic gave this album a solid 3 stars .

Recorded and mixed by Rafi Sofer, Matt Tahaney, and Matt Beaudoin at Q Division,

Matthew Ritchie says “Soon-to-be pop sensation Patrick Emswiler and band string together 10 non-stop power pop tracks that are sure to have you singing along! Imagine if XTC and Pink Floyd got together and jammed with Semisonic…. yeah. Awesome.”

Jason Mcneil from AllMusic says “Judging by the introductory Self Sabotage song, this quartet is intent on recreating a pop rock album in a style of mildly independent slacker rock groups, complete with the explicit lyrics. But delving deeper into the record, the band walks a tightrope between art rock and pop rock similar to The Rheostatics and David Bowie. Having been associated with stalwart Adrian Belew, the songs have a subtle wall of sound supporting them, whether it’s the classical arrangements overshadowed by Andrew Kuhn and his hearty guitar work. In some instances, the basic rock structure takes a quirky turn in the chorus, with the results being mixed. The 4/4 time of Character Assassination devolves into a quasi-funk mode. It’s as if they’ve decided to sonically wear the song inside out at times, unafraid of the somewhat pleasant result. Elegant pop formats tend to suit the group quite aptly, especially during Great Unknown and the rollicking Make Some Noise. Caitlin and Lobster Boy rise above the other tracks, both have a rather infectious beat and sing-a-long chorus.”

Produced by Barry Marshall, and some tracks were recorded and mixed by Jon Lupfer.

A fan states ” This band sounds like a harder and grungier Squeeze. I saw them play at Brownie’s in NYC and picked up the CD at the show. The first song has been boppin’ in my head since I played it. If you like pop and rock and roll, you’ve got to try this album of awesome ditties.”

The only review we could find of this album (on Amazon, in 2009) from Cpt. Damien Howdy says: “The best way to describe it I think is sort of like halfway between Melvins and Jesus Lizard but with occasionally goofier vocals. Catchy and really horribly under appreciated. Like the quintessence of 90’s underground. Highly recommended.”
